railroad companie', and the holocausts
recur with startling frequency.
One of the most important duties de-
volving upon the new Railway Com
mission will be the adoption or recon.
mendation Of measures for the greater
safety Of travel. 1t Is high time that
the slaughter were stopped.
IN THE hurry and confusion Of the
closing hours of the session more or
less legislation that is really desirable
and Objectionable is certain to fail.
This always happens and often without
anybody's direct fault 1t will be little
less than criminal, however, for an al.
journmcnt to be taken without ample
provision being made for the accom-
mediation of the school children of
East Washington. We hear great
deal from abroad about the vice and
immortality of minors in this District
great deal that is grossly absurd aud
uniust-but let 1t once be noised
throughout the country that children
here arc deprived of the enjoyment of
school privileges through the neglect
Of Congress, and roaming the streets
because there is no room for them In
the public school-houses, and 1t will at
least give strong corroborative coloring
to the worst that has been said about
the morals of the Seat of Government
But 1t Is not so much for the good
name of the District that we plead as
for the interests Of the boys and girls
who are barred out. Whatever facill-
ties they need should be granted with.
out circumlocution or debate.

A Coming Musical Event.

The coming of DR.. Louis Mas to Indianapolis
this week is artistic event of much interest.
He is recognized leading authority music
ally in this country, and has transatlantic rep
utation of the highest character. DR.. MASS
visit bears directly upon the meeting of the
Music Teachers National Association in next
July, and for which the citizens committee
called some weeks since, voted to raise funds
sufficient for the orchestra. The Ladies' Matt
nee Musicale had previously decided to
give benefit concert for the orches
ira fund, not knowing that the citi
zens meeting. would come forward sc
generously as they did. The Henry F. Miller
firm, Of Boston, having offered DIR. MASS
services, provided Jan. IA could be tho date, the
offer was thankfully accepted by the Ladies
Matinee Musicale, and it was decided to give q
mixed programme of as great merit as possible
Tie offer was regarded as an honor to the home
society and compliment to Indianapolis very
much out of the usual way, and it is expected
that when the Doctor makes his appearance here
on Friday evening next, at Plymouth Church
he will be greeted by aslarge audience

fathers residence, in ST. Louis, on Saturday, of
quick consumption, induced by a cold caught

some time after her mysterious disappearance
from her homo in st. Louis her whereabouts
we're beyond detection, and for weeks the news
papers were full of talk about her. Thos Gal

for her, and, after many aggravatng disappoint

her at the Insane Asylum. When discovered

A Good Day for Sleighing.

Crusty old King Winter was never more agree
able than yesterday. The three inches of snow
that fell on the icy streets Saturday night made
sleishing almost perfect, and every citizen who
had or could get a horse and sleigh was out for
drive. The principal streets were filled with
hieh-headed roadsters, brightly painted sleighs,
and merry faces all day. There was little speed
ing, but the police expected there would be, and
Captain Campbell patrolled North Meridian and
Delaware streets all afternoon, but made no ar
rests. During the week there is usually much
trying of mettle of steeds on the two streets
named, and some complaint has been made The
police will hereafter see to it that there is nc
racing on these thoroughfares.

A Noisy Italian hall.

At a dance given by the Italians of the city,
over No. Al Virginia avenue, last night, too
much beer was provided and about IL o'clock the
attendants began to get noisy. There was con-
siderable quarreling among the male portion Of
the crowd, which eliminated in one very drunk
son of Italy springing to his feet, drawing a re-
volser and shooting through the window pane
into the street. This alarmed the women pres
emit, who began to scream, and the man who
fred the shot jumped through a window on
shed and escaped with two men after him. The
noise attracted a crowd on the street and police
men were called, who dispersed the crowd but
made no arrests

Does the reader ask why they paw

We reply that experienced nurservmen
have found by actual test that these
lands grow such healthy, ~well-matured

so large a rental even, rather than
grow their stock on lands not under.

there are many instances where lands
after being tile drained, have made
even larger returns than $3.50 per
acre over and above the products Of
lands not drained. We know of a
field, that was t~ile-drained three wears
ago, that yielded sixty-two beshels to
the acre the past season, a severe
drouth prevailing in that locality,
while a field equally as good by nature
near by had only twenty bushels of
corn per acre. A difference of forty.
five bushels at IS cents per bushel
makes the handsome sum of Sl5.75,
besides the greater ease of working

Southern States, therein represented,

not, most important results will fol-
low it's deliberations. The broad
field of investigation may be compre-
hended briefly in the consideration of
the evidences of depression in agricul-
ture-the use of depression and the
remedy for the depression. In. the
present condition of this greatest Of
all our great industries, no theme of
greater magnitude can engage j ebest

and that grass and stock do; but we
want to know definitely just how to
produce, in every locality in the State,
the specific grass and the specific stock
best adapted to it. We/want to know
how to prepare land for it economl-
cally, how te-p4laat it-how and with
what to cultivate, /exactly what to
manure it with, ana in what quaint,

we wantthis information direct, posi-

Before closing, [ wish once more to
disclaim any intention Of making an
attack upon Commissioner Henderson
or the Agricultural Department. The
latter has already proved itself sufi,
GENTLY valuable to lead us all to hope
fora further increase in its value and
for additional benefits from it. Il
awe ask it in no unkind spirit, ap'
preciating fully the labor it will entail

has been received and read with much
interest. I congratulate you on your
success, and shall hope at the next sit
ting of your Legislature your farmers
may have accorded them all of the
measures askedfot, looking to the bet
terment Of their ondition and oppor-
tunities. No CLASH Of our people have
asked for so little Or have been so con
t%emptuously ignoredby the politicians
in power as the farmers and I take it
as a good omen that the arousal itself
will result in good, even if we fail in
that which is sought. Our association,
which met in N ovember1ast land which
will meet again in November) was
large and representative. We asked
for the control of our Agricultural Blu
reau and an Agricultural College, sep
arate and apart from the State Uni
versity. The Legislature postponed &C.
ton upon the former measure until the
next session and appointed an mimi
cal committee to report on the latter.
Our people are showing their dissat-
isfaction and resentment plainly, and
if we are enabled to hold them unified
and determined until our meeting in
November next, thereby sucuring a
large, enthusiastic and representative
as~semblage, the effect on the Legisla-
ture which will meet shortly after
works will be potent. Looking to this
end and realizing the vital Importance
of a good meeting in November, we
are inaugurating mass meetings
throughout the State. During the lat
ter days of August, several of the
leading men of our movement will
attend a meeting of this kind, merely
to discuss measures and means look
ing to the accomplishment of the pur-
pose in view, as we'll as to address the
people who will be c~ongregated from
three counties. 1t would give me inf
mite pleasure if you would allow me
to announce you Is M Of the speak
ers of the day. We would be glad,
also, to have your counsel in our DELHI
erations. Tangible sympathy and
support would be given and received,
acquaintance made and our COM
mon interests strengthened. If you
find it possible to be- with us, will give
you more exact information as to, time,
